Question

Find the point that partitions a segment AB where A (-2, -6) and B (6, 12) into two equal parts.

Answer 1

The midpoint for any segment/line when you're given the start and end point of the line as A=(x1,y1) and B=(x2,y2) is

( ((x1 + x2) /2), ((y1 + y2)/2) )

So here the point is

( (-2+6)/2), (-6+12)/2) )

= (2, 3)

So it's the second option
